You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Braelon Allen in the 124th pick. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 24 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
A big swing on T'Vondre Sweat at the 36th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They jumped the gun on Blake Fisher, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A wild overpay on Braelon Allen in slot 124, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
